Re: How do you stop..

[(Anonymous)]

I can't think of if there's a term for it off the top of my head. But.. being 'manipulative' is part of society. It's just that when it gets to the point of causing harm to others around you or when it's done maliciously than it's what people call manipulation.

Like smiling at someone and speaking to them politely is non-malicious manipulation, by being pleasant I'm trying to encourage them to be pleasant back. That's the building blocks of social interaction! I'm working for our mutual benefit.

Someone who yells and is nasty to try and make someone else cry because they enjoy hurting others is being maliciously manipulative.

So try asking yourself "Am I doing this because I want to hurt them?" and "Do they have the option of saying no in some way?" If no to the first and yes to the second you're perfectly fine.

So during a casual situation going "Is it ok if I vent to you about a bad day?" to someone and then respecting that their answer is honest then you're not being manipulative. (It is possible they're being dishonest and lying about a yes, but... you're not being manipulative if you're just believing them! People are complicated, it sucks, but lying is on them. )
